Typical greenie, prolly a prancer...
Very cool to get that on film. I'm glad when thieves get caught, it happens so rarely.

I'm not buying that cleaning up bullsh'it.
When I was up there at Smith hanging with all the local guys there I thought it was so cool that everyone left their draws.
The community up there was so cool and positive with really good energy.
This guy is an idiot outcast with no link to the awesome local community there.

DMT- Yes Tim Garland doing a lot of the talking is a teacher and it definatly shows. Ian Calwell who filmed it and whos draws those where is a State Park employee. Two of the nicest guys you will ever run into at the crag hands down.

Stealing is lame, but so are forests of fixed draws in my opinion.
That said, I certainly don't condone the thIEf's actions.
"Do you know the ethics of Smith Rocks? How we're allowed to leave whatever we want dangling off the crags for as long as we want?"
AW once said what a terrible thing and an eyesore it was to have a rope hanging on an aid project for a week at Smith. So he pushed the free sport standards to where we had a superior product.
Now we have countless bolts and draws hanging off of "free" projects, essentially forever. Big improvement.....

naw.... it's hard to argue he's "cleaning" litter. his intent is obvious - he's taking someone else's personal property. the cleaning litter argument is bullsh#t.

Cool, if pedantic, how those guys handled that. I wonder what happened next?

The thief looks the part as well. This character undoubtedly has more history with this kind of thing than just this one incident. maybe someone will post up on it.
Love his use of the lingo and nonconfrontational diction. At least he avoided an escalation and a thorough beating. Stuff like this in surfing would mean you would have forfeited your car and taking a major beating as well, maybe much worse.
Jay, they got their stuff off him the loser and let him move on to do it somewhere else. Pedantic, certainly but at least no one got injured. I would have freaked out and beat the f##k out of him, much to my own embarrassment later.
And as Utahman says just below, draws and carabiners appear all the time on Ebay.

I nearly had a similar experience at Smith when my wife and I were climbing there; I left my draws on a route for 10 minutes while I made use of the outhouse (which, I might add was a superb facility) and when I came back I heard a couple passers-by discussing who was going to lead the route and keep the draws...nothing happened though because I hustled back over and they moved on.
Draw thief= tool
Nice job on the vid--also I will say that the folks out at Smith were really really friendly and welcoming, over all.
Maybe this guy is the one who cleaned out Redpoint?

Stealing=Lame.
Leaving your sh#t behind and bitching that it was almost stolen...also pretty lame.

The guy "cleaning" the draws is a dick, but I hate all the fixed draws at Smith too.
It's an eyesore and elitist BS (do the same rules apply to a 5.9 route I'm "working" if it's hard for me?)
